Barbecue restaurant, Bar, Caterer
Pretty disappointed to be honest.Barely better than Sonny’s.The food came out lukewarm at best.The sweet tea is amazing.Best thing you can buy here.The service wasn’t good, our waitress seemed like she had been here all day and was just ready to go home.My boyfriend ordered a three meat combo, and it only came out with two.I won’t be back.
We were having our car serviced a short distance away so we decided to give bono's a try.My husband and I both were very hungry so we ordered the two meat platters that came with two sides each.My husband got the chicken and ribs with collard greens and baked beans.I got the brisket and turkey with the sweet potato and the side special of the day, which was potato salad. I'll start with the only serious negative, but it was negative enough to knock a whole star off my rating.My husband and I both love brisket.I mean really love it.We eat it a lot at different restaurants and we make our own.The brisket here was the worst I have ever had.It was dried out and so very tough.Good brisket can be pulled apart with a fork and is tender and moist.I could not pull this apart because the meat was so incredibly tough and extremely dry. I fought whoever was in the kitchen plating this up because you could tell it wasn't going to be good by looking at it.I had to chew it for a long long time and the flavor was okay, nice and smoky, but not good enough to make up for how dry and tough it was.On the way out I saw that they appeared to have their meats sitting in an open flame area and I just imagined that's where all the moisture got sucked out of it. On a happier note, everything else was pretty good.My husband absolutely loved the chicken.We thought our ribs and turkey were pretty good, although not the best. My sweet potato was just a normal sweet potato wrapped and baked, but it was beautifully fluffy and cooked to perfection.They were out of the usual cinnamon butter unfortunately.The potato salad was quite good, tasting almost like homemade.The potatoes were a little too hard, but the flavor was spot on.The collard greens were what you would expect from collard Greens.The baked beans had some meat in it and my husband seemed to like them just fine. The hostess was very sweet and I appreciated her service.Our waitress was good, but she asked about how we liked our food a bit too early, as I had not yet tasted the brisket.I didn't want to make a big deal about it because everything else was good.It was quite a lot of food anyway. It's a nice atmosphere and I think the value was pretty good.I would come again, but I would not order the brisket lol!
Great Dinner experience there it was my firts time in the Restaurant. And my first time in Jacsonville in 25 years. Food excelence , the service too , our waiter was always asking if we want anything. A wanderful young lady. The food was great , the prices reasonable. My sons they have a 2 choices of meat platter , and the total amount was 40% less than what i was expecting to pay. I have 1 meat platter but the amount plus the sides were good enough that i walk out of there very satisfy. If you are in the Jacsonville Fl area consider them , them even have family meals and daily specials..
